Gary, I did not know you personally, but my father and I often spoke about you. He was the first paramedic to show up at your house on that fateful day 1993. We lived just a block away from you and he volunteered in the fire department. He felt so bad that he could not save you. All he wanted was to give you back the years you deserved with your family. Your premature death has helped keep us save, because we talked about how to handle domestics and talked about how not to become a victim when trying to settle a domestic dispute. He worked in the sheriffs department and I was a rookie in the NYPD. He used your incident to remind me to be safe at 911 calls and to stay alert for the unexpected. My father has passed as well at the age of 61 from cancer. I know he made his way to you in heaven to say he was sorry he could not do more for you that day. I hope you are resting in peace in GODS arms. Thank you for teaching me a life lesson on how to watch my back at incidents. Your death was not in vain, it taught me how to be safe and how to train others to do the same.

Gary,

I just wanted you to know that I still think about you and all the great times we had together. I think about how your family is doing and how they must wish you were here. I can't believe it's been 15 years since taht fateful day in 1993. Someday we will meet again, until then may God rest your soul and protect all those that you loved.

Your Buddy,
Neil

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Remembering your sense of humor in the academy, I'm certain of one thing. You must be in charge of entertaining your bro's in heaven. Long Island is a sadder place without you. RIP brother

I do not want Gary Farley to be forgotten. If you spent any time with him at all you know...you cannot forget him. He was a wonderful, funny, intelligent individual taken from us way before his time. If I could only tell you about our travles on Friday evening to the Hamptons, not to mention the weekends. Gary I miss you, your humor and your laugh.

It pains me to know that the creep who did this to you got off with a slap on the wrist. Obviously some liberal judge. What happen to kill a cop go to prison?

Gary and I were very good friends for many years. We attended the same high school and worked together as bartenders out in the hamptons. He was the kind of guy that lit up a room. His humor and quick wit was his trademark. Gary was always ready to make you laugh. I miss him and pray for his family.

What a travesty of justice! Your killer will be punished, however, by the Supreme Judge, God. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Rest in peace sir.

Gary,You were so well loved and so fun to be around, that a beautiful waterfront park was forever named in your honor.
People can read your memorial plaque at this park on Anchor Drive in Massapequa. Everyone misses you!

I can't really believe that the suspect in your death got merely a $500 fine. But it goes to show what a thankless job you people do. Rest in peace Officer Farley
